Service 06 · Repair

We fix what others won't.

Lifted pads. Severed traces. A short you can't isolate. A board you can't respin because the BOM has died. Send it. We'll diagnose, photograph, and quote a repair before we touch it.

// What this is

Diagnostics first. Repair second.

If you knew what was wrong you'd already have fixed it. We start with a paid diagnostic: power-on, scope shorts and opens, photograph the suspect area, and email you a finding before quoting the actual repair.

Common jobs: lifted pad reattach, severed trace bridging with copper wire, surface-mount swap on a board with conformal coat, BGA reflow on a board that won't boot, ribbon-cable connector replacement.

Typical turnaround	3–7 business days from receipt
Documentation	Photo log, before/after, repair notes, confidence rating per repair
Warranty	30 days on the specific repair site

// Process

Diagnose first. Then quote. Then repair.

Send the board + symptoms

Photos, what worked, what stopped, what changed. The more detail, the better the quote.

Diagnostic ($) + finding email

Flat-rate diagnostic. We don't quote a repair until we've confirmed what's actually wrong — "I'll fix what looks wrong" is how boards die.

Quote the repair

Fixed price, with a confidence rating: high (we've done this kind of repair 100×), medium (likely fix, plausible failure modes), low (last-resort attempt, here's the risk).

Repair under microscope, photographed

Step-by-step photos, each repair site flagged. We email if we find anything new mid-repair.

Verify + return-ship

Power-on if you supply expected behavior, otherwise visual + electrical check on the repair site only.

// Pricing

Quote-only.

Every project is priced individually. Send the details and we’ll come back same business day with a fixed-price quote, a lead time, and any DFM red flags.

// FAQ

Common questions.

Will you take a board with no schematic?

Yes, often. Reverse-engineering simple sections is straightforward. Complex multi-layer SoC routing is harder — we'll set realistic expectations on the diagnostic.

What if you can't fix it?

You pay the diagnostic. We tell you what we found. No repair charge if no repair is performed.

Conformal-coated boards?

Yes. We remove coating locally, repair, and re-apply if requested.

Liquid damage / corrosion?

Possible but high-risk. Diagnostic includes ultrasonic clean and photograph. Repair confidence is usually low to medium.

Board on the bench, no respin in sight?

Send symptoms and a photo. Diagnostic is flat-rate; you only commit to a repair after you see the finding.
